Why API Pentesting Feels Like Solving a Cyber Puzzle?

Image
Have you ever done a jigsaw puzzle? You start with many small pieces.You don’t know where they all go at first.You take a look, think and start putting the pieces in places. Bit by bit, the full picture appears. That’s what we do at FORTBRIDGE. We don’t work with puzzles made of paper. We work with digital puzzles — the kind you can’t see, but that help your phone, apps, and websites work properly. What we do is called API Pentesting . We do test things which are used for connecting computer systems together. Our team performs this so that your business is safe from hackers and future problems. It is like checking your home before going out. Why We Test APIs? APIs carry very important things — like money details, names, and passwords. If there’s a weak spot in the system, bad people can find it. They can get in and take data or cause damage. That’s why testing is so important. At FORTBRIDGE, we find those weak spots before hackers do. We show you where the danger is and how to ...

5 Common Gaps a Cloud Security Assessment Review Can Reveal

Image
Today, most businesses use the cloud. We use it to store files, run apps, share data, and do our daily work. It’s fast, affordable, and easy to use. You can log in from anywhere — at home, at work, or even on the train. But here’s the thing: Just because the cloud feels safe, doesn’t mean it always is. Many people don’t realize that small mistakes in cloud setup can make a business easy to attack. Hackers are clever — they look for tiny holes, and once they find one, they can steal data or cause real damage. That’s why a Cloud Security Assessment Review is conducted! That’s where FORTBRIDGE comes in. We help businesses across the UK find and fix these holes before hackers do. Our cloud security checks show where your system might be weak and how to make it strong again. Here are five common problems that a cloud security check often finds. You might be shocked by how simple these problems are — and how dangerous they can be if ignored. 1. Cloud Settings Done Wrong We see this ...

Cloud Security Assessment Review: Your Best Shield Against Hackers

Image
Imagine moving your entire office into the cloud. Files, apps, emails, and customer data are all online. Doesn’t it sound nice-from anywhere it can be opened, the team works faster, and costs go down? But here is the catch-hackers love the cloud too. If they find even one minor mistake, they can break in and cause lots of damage. This is why having a Cloud Security Assessment Review is so important. It is like a full cloud health checkup. At FORTBRIDGE, we perform cloud security analyses in deep detail. We detect weaknesses, ensure that they are all fixed, and then strengthen your environment so no hacker can get through. What is a Cloud Security Assessment? It's almost like hiring an expert mechanic to inspect your car before you set off on a long journey. Perhaps you believe your car is ready, but the mechanic might see things you would miss altogether. A Cloud Security Assessment works the same way: We examine your cloud settings and controls. We look for cracks an attack...

Cloud Security Architecture Assessment: Are You Doing It Right?

Image
 As businesses accelerate their move to the cloud, securing that journey has never been more critical. Adopting AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud isn’t enough, organizations must ensure their cloud security architecture is designed, configured, and operated to withstand today’s evolving threat landscape . One of the most overlooked yet vital components of a robust cloud strategy is a Cloud Security Architecture Assessment (CSAA) , a proactive evaluation that ensures your cloud environment is secure from the ground up. At FORTBRIDGE , we specialize not only in advanced penetration testing but in helping organizations build resilience before attackers strike. Strong security starts with strong architecture What Is a Cloud Security Architecture Assessment? A CSAA is a comprehensive review of your cloud design, configuration, and controls . Unlike a simple audit or box-ticking exercise, it’s an in-depth analysis of how your cloud is actually built, deployed, and maintained. The go...

The Ethics of LLM Pentesting: Where Do We Draw the Line?

Image
In the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity, Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have emerged as powerful tools. From writing code to answering technical queries, these AI systems are being integrated into products, platforms, and business operations across industries. But with great power comes great responsibility—especially when it comes to LLM Pentesting (penetration testing of language models). At FORTBRIDGE , we take a proactive and ethical approach to security. That includes understanding where the boundaries lie when testing LLMs for vulnerabilities. What Is LLM Pentesting? LLM Pentesting is the practice of testing a language model for weaknesses that attackers could exploit. This includes: Tricking the model into leaking private or proprietary data Prompting it to generate harmful code or malicious outputs Manipulating it into bypassing safety filters or producing offensive content These are not theoretical risks—they are real and increasingly relevant in AI-powered ...
